According to James Hoggarth, Joe Gelhardt will have a medical in London on Sunday before joining Hull City on loan from Leeds United.
The BBC Radio Humberside journalist stated via X (12 January) that the Whites forward is undergoing medical tests ahead of a temporary move to the MKM Stadium.
If the medical passes, the 22-year-old will join the Tigers on loan until the end of the season, MOT Leeds News understands.
Joe Gelhardt will join Hull City on loan from Leeds United.
Although the 22-year-old first appeared like an exciting talent after his breakthrough at Elland Road, this term the forward has made only two Championship appearances therefore it’s not a surprise to see a transfer away from West Yorkshire in the second half of the campaign.
There is no doubt that Daniel Farke needs to improve his attacking options during the transfer window ahead of the remainder of the campaign with Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph sharing the striker responsibility to varying levels of success, but with just eight minutes of football played, it is clear the German doesn’t see Gelhardt as an answer.
At only 22 years old, this might be an excellent move for the youngster, who will undoubtedly be eager to get some regular minutes under his belt and continue his development in the hopes of becoming a first-team player, whether at his parent club or elsewhere.
Hull are struggling this season, sitting in the Championship’s relegation zone and two points from safety. As a result, Gelhardt may find himself having the intended influence at the MKM Stadium, while Farke can concentrate on the players who can help his promotion campaign now.
